| John Keel author of "Mothman Prophecies"
is being screwed out of any income from the film of the same name based
on his book. For 2 reasons (as listed in Cinescape). 1. The book is based
on a true story so Keel needs not approve of the use of his story (even
if it is about aliens that kidnap decent folk- wow does this mean they're
really out there for legal reasons only??). 2. Keel did not trademark his
books name, so Hollywood can use it. This is the second movie being based
on the Urban Legend that Keel writes about the first (Indie) is near completion
whilst the (Hollywood) other is yet to get off the ground, although Richard
Gere has been cast in it. The Indie film is just called "Mothman"
